Steingreber Admiral Vernon:Large scale wooden ship

Looking good so far Philo. I'very done a few plank on bulkhead builds, there's a knack to it. 

Hey I remember when you bought this. Good job taking it on.

Looking great.  I always enjoy seeing plank-on-bulkhead ship projects.

Very nice work so far.....Cheers Mark

THanks guys its is coming along. 

Hey Philo;

    Save your saw-dust . the original sanding or saw dust makes great filler mixed with glue .  By the way , looking Good !   T.B.

Thanks for the tip!I am pleased with the progress thus far but I think i may have to build its own free standing display table due to the massive size of he model!

Nice work!  Have never tackled anything like that.

Mounted up the Bowsprit and foremast.

I did not have the blocks for the deadeyes so I made my own. I cut a dowel rod into sections and drilled the holes for the rope. 

Tied the rat lines to the fore mast and added gold filigree to the bow.  

Wow. So much detail on a single ship. Great work.  I think Ill stick to modern ships. 

Thanks!!nothing like real wood,realy is great to work with.

Looks like this one will be a real skyscaper!The height of the mainmast from the base to the top is 33 inches.It will be even taller when the 3rd doubling is put on,but i wont put thse on until the ship is mounted on a lower table for rigging.   

Put the main mast deadeyes on last night.

the web site you put up ., said there was nothing there

Sorry this stupid tablet is driving me nuts trying to copy and paste.i wishbi could hook but my wireless mouse to it but no cursur arrowis present.photobucket says to tap and hold to copy but it will not,topmpriority is getting a laptop where the mouse goes and does exactly what you want to do when you want to do it.

I finished tying on the shrouds and lower ratlines and will now have to make blocks for the second course.   

Due to the height of the masts and the low ceiling of my workshop,I had to move the ship to a tV tray to finish tying on the ratlines.Next up i will work on the bowsprit.    

It is looking really good.
